Broadband, Microstrip, Shaped Beam, C-Band Antenna for Application in Wireless LAN

Abstract

A design and performance of the C-band, broadband, microstrip patch antenna for application in wireless LAN is presented. Feeding network with non-uniform power and phase distribution versus frequency was designed to provide beam shaping in elevation and azimuth plane. The simulated and measured characteristics of manufactured antenna as well as the parts of beam forming network are shown. Low cost mechanical design and materials have been applied.
